Curaleaf Clinic

What Curaleaf Clinic does

Curaleaf Clinic, legally Sapphire Medical Clinics Ltd, is a UK-licensed private medical cannabis clinic founded in 2019 and headquartered at 10 Harley Street, London, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Curaleaf International. It provides specialist doctor consultations for patients with chronic pain, psychiatric, neurological, gastrointestinal, and cancer-related conditions who have not responded to conventional treatments, delivering care entirely virtually via online eligibility assessment and video consultation across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man.

The clinic is built on an online-first platform comprising a self-service eligibility flow (app.curaleafclinic.com), video consultation infrastructure, a patient portal for prescriptions, formulary access, and adverse-event reporting, and integration with the UK Medical Cannabis Registry — the largest registry of its kind in the UK — for real-world outcomes data collection via the Curaleaf Access Scheme. Prescriptions are dispensed through wholly-owned Curaleaf Pharmacy with free home delivery. The clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), holds a 'Good' overall rating with 'Outstanding' for Well-led services, and was named Clinic of the Year 2026 by the Medical Cannabis Industry.

Curaleaf Clinic generates revenue through a hybrid subscription and pay-per-appointment model for consultations (£5/month, £50/year, or £30 per appointment) and benefits economically from prescription fulfilment via Curaleaf Pharmacy. Patient acquisition is primarily direct-to-consumer, supported by content marketing, organic social, healthcare-professional referrals, and tier-1 UK earned media (BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, Times, Sky News), with NHS Login integration available to English patients. Vertical integration across prescribing, dispensing (Curaleaf Pharmacy), education (Curaleaf Education), and laboratory services (Curaleaf Laboratories) constitutes the broader ecosystem.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Babylon Health: Global digital health company that pioneered large-scale UK telehealth consultations. Comparable as a benchmark for scaling online GP/specialist consultations in the UK, though broader in scope than Curaleaf Clinic's cannabis focus.
• Livi (formerly Kry UK): Major UK digital primary care provider offering NHS and private GP video consultations. Comparable telehealth delivery model, though not cannabis-specialised, illustrating broader virtual care platforms Curaleaf competes with for online patient attention.
• Khiron Life Sciences (Khiron Europe / Zerenia parent): Vertically integrated medical cannabis company operating Zerenia Clinics in the UK and Latin America. Comparable because it combines clinic operations with cultivation/supply, mirroring Curaleaf Clinic's integration under a global cannabis operator.

Direct peers

• Zerenia Clinics: UK private medical cannabis clinic focused on chronic pain, psychiatry, and neurology. Comparable specialist-prescriber model and patient target segments to Curaleaf Clinic.
• Lyphe Clinic: UK private medical cannabis clinic group with specialist doctor consultations and integrated dispensing. Competes head-to-head with Curaleaf Clinic in the same patient populations across England and other UK regions.
• Mamedica: UK-based private medical cannabis clinic offering specialist consultations and prescriptions for treatment-resistant conditions. Most directly comparable peer with overlapping conditions, online consultation model, and self-pay positioning.
• Alternaleaf (formerly Cannabis Access Clinics): UK private medical cannabis clinic with online eligibility assessments and specialist prescribing for chronic pain, psychiatric, and neurological conditions. Operates a similar DTC subscription/pricing model to Curaleaf Clinic.

Emerging players

• Solace Health: Digital chronic care clinic in the US that uses telehealth plus care teams for complex chronic conditions. Comparable online-first specialist consultation and subscription-style model, though US-focused and broader than cannabis.
• Kanabo Group: UK-listed medical cannabis and telehealth group operating The GP Service and cannabis-focused patient platforms. Comparable online consultation and prescribing infrastructure aligned to UK medical cannabis demand.

Others

• Grow Pharma: UK-focused medical cannabis importer and supplier working with clinics and prescribers. Adjacent rather than competing — comparable because it operates in the same UK medical cannabis value chain serving Curaleaf-style clinics.
